Once seen as being slightly down-at-heel compared to the wealthy areas of London to the east, Earls Court has been the subject of continued gentrification for the last twenty years or so, and while not indistinguishable from places like Knightsbridge, it is now much closer in character. Even today though, there is a notable economic divide between the wealthy eastern half and the west, which is home to some of the cheaper Earls Court hotels.

Earls Court is within easy reach of Knightsbridge and Kensington, and all of the museums that can be found there. It is also easily possible to walk to the west of London’s centre, where Westminster and Buckingham Palace can be found, among other attractions. Points of interest local to Earls Court itself include the Earls Court Exhibition Centre, which is a huge venue featuring many live music performances and fairs, as well as the UK’s only real-life (albeit non-functional) TARDIS.

Earls Court Hotels are numerous, clustered around the station, and generally between two and four stars, but there is accommodation to suit almost any budget or level of luxury here. Top of the range is Templeton Place, a collection of well-furnished apartments only a few hundred metres from the tube station. The apartments offer use of a concierge and a streetcar, and are beautifully designed in a minimal fashion.

The two star Oxford Hotel handily combines a low cost with a high customer satisfaction rating, and is also one of the very closest hotels to the station. Its 90 rooms have been recently refurbished to a high standard, and the staff are hugely welcoming. The smaller three star Lord Kensington Hotel is another popular choice, providing something of a B&B atmosphere with its tranquil, homely furnishings and comforts.
